Inmate mail procedures are very strict for security and
safety reasons. Any mail parcels that are received contrary to the
following guidelines will be returned to the sender. However, any
contraband identified may be confiscated and booked into evidence.
Many items inmates are not allowed to receive through the mail are available
through the inmate canteen. Your cooperation with the jail's mail staff
is greatly appreciated.

Mail is delivered six days a week in accordance with the
schedules of the U.S. Postal Service. Letters, pictures 5" x 7" or
smaller (please, not more than 5), and U.S. Postal money orders are accepted (no cash or
personal checks). All items must be delivered to the Detention Center
by the U.S. Postal Service.

Photographs or other pictures writings that are of
nude(s), suggestive in nature, showing gangs, gang tattoos, or hand
gestures or other similar signs will not be allowed.

With regard to books, we will not accept anything not
sent directly from the publisher, nor anything of an explicit sexual nature,
items which call for, provide instructions for or which encourage violence.

The staff from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office
Detention Center have attempted to provide an accurate and complete list of
items not permitted to be mailed to inmates. The Cumberland County
Sheriff's Office and the Cumberland County Detention Center have the right
to continually update this list and to return or hold into evidence any
items(s) where those items are deemed potentially harmful or where they may
cause a possible insecure environment to the general inmate community.

All mail must include the return address of the sender.
